About Nexovas M 50 Tablet

Nexovas M 50 Tablet contains a combination of anti-hypertensive medications used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Nexovas M 50 Tablet is used when a single medication is ineffective in treating blood pressure. Besides this, lowering blood pressure also protects the heart from a future heart attack. Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a long-term force of the blood against the arteries that may lead to various heart diseases. High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries.

Nexovas M 50 Tablet contains Metoprolol and Cilnidipine. Metoprolol plays a vital role in relaxing our blood vessels by blocking the action of certain natural substances in your body. It helps slow down the heart rate, making it easier to pump more blood around your body and lower blood pressure. Cilnidipine is a calcium channel blocker that blocks the heart's blood vessel's calcium channel activities. As a result, the blood vessels widen, and the heart's supply increases, lowering the elevated blood pressure and the heart's workload. Collectively, both help reduce blood pressure and reduce the chance of having any heart attack or stroke in the future.

Nexovas M 50 Tablet should be taken daily with food to allow its slow absorption and reduce the risk of sudden lowering of blood pressure. Swallow the whole tablet with a glass of water. Nexovas M 50 Tablet is preferable to take at the same time every day for better results.
